About MRK9INC.

MRK9 Inc. is a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) focused on rescue, adoption, and breed preservation for large dogs, especially German Shepherds. Alongside its rescue work, the organization lists dog training and puppy training among its services.

Approach

The stated philosophy centers on keeping dogs in their homes: "We would rather train you and your dog to stay together than have you give up your dog." The site indicates it currently uses Marsh Run Kennels' facilities and describes plans to build a 5,000-square-foot climate-controlled facility that would include an indoor training area open to the public. Because the primary mission is rescue, the training offering is described in general terms rather than as a formal class catalog.
